Crawl Space & Foundation Repair in Garner, NC
Garner has more mid-century houses than most of Wake County outside Raleigh, and older crawl spaces mean more of our work here is structural.
Triangle Reconstruction has invoiced more than 80 jobs in Garner since 2014 — more than 10 of them since the start of 2024.
Garner Homes and What Is Under Them
Garner was incorporated in 1905 and grew as a suburb of Raleigh after the Second World War, so a large share of its homes are ranch houses from the 1950s through the 1970s on crawl spaces. Newer subdivisions have filled in to the south and east, but the older neighborhoods are where most of our Garner work has been.
A crawl space that has been damp for fifty or sixty years shows it in the wood. Sill plates on top of the foundation wall, the band joists around the edge and the floor joists themselves can soften over that time, and termites are drawn to wood that stays wet. By the time a floor feels soft or bouncy, the cause is usually visible from the crawl space.
Common Problems We See in Garner
- Soft, bouncy or sloping floors from rotted or undersized joists — see floor joist repair
- Termite damage to sills and joists, found after treatment or during an inspection for a sale
- Settled support piers in older crawl spaces
- Missing or long-gone vapor barriers over bare soil
We repair termite damage; we do not treat for termites. If there is active activity, a pest control company treats first, and we repair the framing afterwards. Then the crawl space needs to be kept dry, or the conditions that invited the damage come straight back.

Our Customers Love Us!
“Rob and his crew are super. I had a very big project to renovate a 130-year old farmhouse. They worked diligently to put in new piers, new girders, and new joists. Then they also help to fix some frames and add subfloor. This allowed me to move on. Really enjoyed working with Rob.”

“Very professional! They carried out their task while going the extra mile. It was obvious to me that quality is of great importance. They left it better than they found it. I would recommend them to my greatest of friends and family.”

“After having some minor flooding issues, we contacted Triangle Reconstruction and they were amazing in their ability to identify the issues and the best way to address it. What was most impressive was the team that came out and did the work. They were probably the most professional and organized crew we've ever seen work on our house. Brian, our rep, and Rob, the owner, regularly checked in on their work and kept us updated on the progress. I hope I never have to deal with flooding issues again, but if I do, I'll call Triangle Reconstruction again.”
